Since moving into our new house, we have so much more space than we used to. We have two living rooms! All of the furniture we already had went down into the basement living area, which left our main living room on the first floor completely empty. We plan to just get furniture pieces as we see them and can get a good deal on them. One day, to get out of the heat of the summer yet out of the house, Raylee and I walked the lanes at a local Peddler's Mall. Each booth is filled with furniture, household items, clothes, books, and who knows what all! There's lots to see. While there, I found an Continue Reading
Bedroom Reveal
I'm so excited to announce that my bedroom is finished! Be sure to check out the bedroom before and during in one of my previous posts. A lot of work was done to this room, and now that is complete I seriously love it! It is exactly what I wanted. A big huge thanks goes out to my dad, grandpa, and uncle who put in countless hours of work for me. A big thanks to my brother and his fiance for helping me take the closet doors off, which took forever. And another thank you goes to my husband who helped me paint the closet doors, put them back on (sorta), and hang up my wall art. Please don't Continue Reading
Closet Door Makeover
While Travis was home for a few weeks, I recruited him to help me paint my closet doors so I could finish the bedroom. The doors started out as wood, but I wanted a closet door makeover! I wanted to paint the doors a deep color as an accent for the white-walled room. Here's a before shot of the whole room, complete with one of the closet doors showing. We set the closet doors up one-by-one on this sawhorse. I wiped them down with a rag to make sure there was no remaining dry wall dust! We decided to use our paint sprayer for this project because we knew it would go faster! We were Continue Reading
Dining Room Reveal
Let the home projects begin. Now that I'm back from Korea, I'm back to fixing up my old farm house. I finished the bathroom before I left, and today I'm sharing our dining room reveal. We really didn't have to do much. We ripped up the carpet to reveal the beautiful hardwood floors underneath. We changed the light fixture. And we added some blinds instead of curtains. I like my dining room, especially the windows that add so much light. Unfortunately, that same light made it a little hard to take photos. Let's start with some before photos. Be sure to notice the carpet, the curtains, and Continue Reading
Bathroom Makeover: Goodbye Swans
One of the first rooms finished in my house was surprisingly the bathroom. I guess it got done first because I need the bathroom. I need a toilet and a shower -- that's important to me. Now that it's done, I'm so excited to share it with ya'll! Check out my bathroom makeover! Here's what the bathroom looked like before we did anything. There was a window above the bathtub. Complete with old lady curtains. There were two towel racks above the bathtub. Teal and brown tile. A big clashing flower border. An old small mirror with lights that don't work. A big long mirror above the Continue Reading
Closet Makeover
The kitchen is one area of my house that I just have not decided what exactly I want to do. I can't decide on a color scheme. But there was one part of my kitchen that was a no-brainer. I needed a closet makeover. When walking in the door to my house, you enter the kitchen. Directly to the left sits an old coat closet that was literally falling apart. It was scary to look at, and I can guarantee no one wanted to hang their coat there. This post contains affiliate links. Thanks helping me keep the lights on. :) Here is what my closet looked like before. First, my dad removed the parts Continue Reading
